Julie Longo

Realtor | Builder | New Home Expert®

Julie’s new home construction experience runs deep – after tours with Centex, Lombardo & Timothy Patrick Homes, she now owns Kensington Family Homes. Her history with Lou & Jeff run’s almost as deep, working with them at Centex, sharing office space with them at TPH, and acting as a constant source of answers to the building questions they always pretend to know. Julie lives in Novi with her husband and 3 sons. She received her B.S. from Eastern.

Ana Singhal

Realtor | New Home Expert®

After a super-successful turn with Pulte, Ana brings her new home expertise to us. Though she has a background in Computer Science, she pursued a career in real estate because she’s more people person than a computer geek; in truth, she’s a little bit of both, which is great because most Realtors are neither of either. Ana lives in Northville with her husband and two girls. She received her M.C.S from Grand Valley State.
